I went to the gas station yesterday and was stopped for about 2 minutes while I put $10 in my tank. When I got back in my truck it wouldn't start-dead battery. I tried cleaning and wiggling the connections and even replaced one but got nothing. We tried jumping it with my girlfriends jeep but even after 20+ minutes connected, I didn't have enough to turn it over more than once or twice and it didn't seem to be getting any better. Eventually we decided to take the battery out of my girlfriends jeep and put it in my truck. We did and it started right up and got my truck home. Put the battery back in her jeep, checked to make sure it still started, and we went to bed.
This morning she left in her jeep to go to class and stopped at the same gas station to get a coffee. I get a call from her 10 minutes later, dead battery.
Whats going on here? Is something wrong with my truck causing my battery to die and damaging hers when we put in in my truck? Is something at the gas station killing batteries? Or is this just a freaky coincidence?
Her battery is almost 4 years old. I think mine might be the original one in my truck, which would put it at 9-10 years old
